RESUMO

Twenty animals with benign esophageal strictures are presented. Most of the esophageal strictures were thought to be related to gastroesophageal reflux during ovariohysterectomy and were located at the distal portion of the thoracic esophagus (caudal to the base of the heart). For the dilation procedure, the endoscope tip or a balloon catheter was used and the outcome was generally considered to be good. The endoscope tip was an adequate instrument for dilation in some cases.
